For over 40 years, I've designed and printed my own Christmas cards. In the early days, I used traditional methods such as linocuts and silk screen prints. In the 1990's, I discovered computer technology and began using it to produce my greeting cards. About the same time, also with the aid of the computer, I started making original paper tree ornaments. The cards and ornaments are my gifts to relatives and friends each Holiday season. Shown on this page are examples of my Yuletide projects.

I first did this piece as an acrylic painting for a proposed linocut. Later I reworked it in my computer's image editor.
